Scolls By Gustave Caillebotte Essay

This painting is very colorful and uses warm colors to make things blend together nicely. The trees are very upright and seem to be old. The leaves are turning colors to orange and yellows. Then below the trees on the path there are rocks that are quite large in comparison to the trees. surrounding the rocks is dirt and little green trees poking out. The barren tree trunks are making the pictures focus point start at the bottom and making its way to the top. There is a very dark green pine tree behind the brown tree trunk. The lines in this painting are mainly going straight up and down but there is also a ton going horizontal and diagonal. The brush strokes are very even and not easily spotted. While the artist made the sky overcast with a cream color paint, there are no shadows created by the objects in the painting. In the background to the left there is a mountain that is darker than the other

Leon Krier was criticised for publishing a costly monograph on Albert Speer’s architecture (1985)in which, while acknowledging the crimes of the Nazis and the man, Krier nonetheless claimed the book’s only subject and sole justification was “Classical architecture and the passion of building” (cited by Jaskot, ‘Architecture of Oppression’, 2000). Discuss this claim, the controversy and the issues (historical, philosophical and ethical and possibly others) they raise. Can architecture, Classical, Modern or otherwise, be autonomous from politics and valued independently of the circumstances of politics and history that adhere to it?

The image has bright colors such as red, orange, and greens that jump out at you and make you feel like you are right next to the image. In the painting the people are found in pairs or a small group. This makes them look happy and seem pleased with one another. There is even a small group in the back that is dancing around hand in hand. The people have an auras around them that are green showing love and happiness.

The scale of objects direct the viewer to conventions in order of prestige which resists the passage of time and remains a symbol of magnificence and strength by withstanding the degradation. The time worn ruins impact the painting with its ability to remain erect due to its vastness, for it occupies the majority of the canvas. Its enormous stature and breadth of the columns characterizes the structure as powerful, yet the crumbling regions reveal that its vigor belongs to the past. The degradation and neglect by succeeding societies convey how humans abandoned this empire to proceed with the construction of a new one. Portions of the ceiling sitting upon the columns have crumbled and at the ceiling wooden planks are exposed with plants protruding through the gaps. Although the degradation reduces the ruin’s honor and Roman illusion of immortality, the temple remains an artifact of vanity and majesty. The linear

The human body is the ultimate tool for discovering the environment. Human anatomy is considered to be nature’s peak of perfection and certain features serve as inspiration for many architects. To study the relationship between the human body and architecture, one must not be limited to human body parts resemblance to architectural works but to a larger extent consider human emotions, sensory nerves, the mind and general human psychology. In essence everything that makes us human. In its simplest definition Architecture can be described as an art or practice of designing buildings. It is practiced in a way that accomplishes both practical and communicative or expressive requirements. To relate it to human body then Architecture can widely define the place, the site, the energy, the systems, the building, the flora and fauna. These components that bring aesthetic property to humanity apart from the utilitarian purpose it serves. The perfect balance of a normal human body and the proportions are incorporated into architecture from a point of view of imitation, idealized allusion and the actual human use. Evidence of such human incorporation into architecture is seen from the Ancient Greek Architectures where it was common for tower columns to take shape of a human being like in the colossus of the Ancient

In many places throughout the world many buildings, monuments and sculptures have been made. Some were made centuries ago, and some were made recently. Many works of arts are significant or a great part of history. Some of the many buildings that have been made throughout time could have also been dedicated to someone or something. For example, the Arch of Titus was dedicated to Titus. Another example would be the Arc de Triomphe which was dedicated to soldiers. Many buildings can have a very significant meaning behind them, in the following essay I will be speaking about the importance of both of these works of art, which are the Arch of Titus and the Arc de Triomphe.

This artwork shows varities of elements and designs; there’s different type of colors used and the lower right part of the paintings had a little darkness and shadowy look. The bright sky was reflected through the lake that makes it appear brighter. The repeated triangular shapes of the mountain created a unity and gave the painting a harmonious appearance.

What I see in this painting is loads of people sitting and standing by a river just chilling and having a relaxing time probably in the afternoon since there are a couple of shadows going right of the painting. Whats interests me in the painting is that one person is different from the others by the way they dress. If you look on the bottom left, the guy laying on his back has a tank top and a cap on which makes it interesting to see the only difference in clothing in the 1800’s.

The subject matter is the largest one man. He wears a straw hat with a red ribbon, a white long sleeve with rolled sleeve to elbows and blue trousers. He is not any mood on his face, but he is focusing on the paddle and rowing along the river that has many trees in the both side. On the left side of the painting, there is a building like pavilion. For the elements of arts, there are some lines that I found in the painting.

This book was written by Juhani Pallasmaa with regard to ‘Polemics’, on issues that were part of the architecture discourse of the time, i.e. 1995. It is also an extending of ideas expressed in an essay entitled “Architecture of the seven senses” published in 1994.

Throughout the history of mankind, the architecture of every culture has been connected to other cultures’ architecture. Such art is described to be the fingerprint of each culture leaving the most artistic and beautiful designs behind for us to see. Throughout the history of Western Civilization, architectural achievements ranging from Stonehenge and the church Hagia Sophia as well as its counterpart mosque the Dome of the Rock as well as the later design of the Romanesque architecture have shown clearly how art is a representation of its context.

Architecture is often mistaken as purely an art form, when in actually it is where art and engineering or art and practicality meet. For example, painting is an art, when preformed well it yields a beautiful picture that evokes a deep human reaction and brings pleasure to its viewer, however this painting provides no function, it cannot shield us from the rain or protect us from the wind or snow, it is purely form. An insulated aluminum shed provides shelter and protection from Mother Nature; however, it is a purely functional building, it was drawn by an engineer, not conceived by an artist to have form. The culmination of form and function is Architecture, the Greeks and Romans fathered this idea and Palladio’s study of roman architecture taught him his valuable truth.

Different architects have different styles because they are trying to get at different things. Architecture is not just about making something beautiful anymore, it is about trying to get across a set of ideas about how we inhabit space. Two of the most famous architects of the twentieth century, one from each side, the early part and the later part up until today each designed a museum with money donated by the Guggenheim foundation. One of these is in New York City, it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The other is in bilbao, Spain, and it was designed by Frank Geary. My purpose of this paper is to interrogate each of these buildings, glorious for different reasons, to show how each architect was expressing their own style.

This essay will critically discuss the development of Post Modernism as a reaction to Modernism and the growth of the architectural style as an individual movement.

This painting falls under the category of an impressionist painting. You are able to tell that it is an impressionist painting because the lines of paint are blended on the canvas and not on a pallet. The lines are little brush strokes and not big blended ones.
